177919 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 177919 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 177 / 72

Step 3:
177 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 33.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 144 from 177 to get 33.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 339 / 72

On to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 339 4 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 288 from 339 to get 51.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 511 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 can be fit into 511 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 247.0
Deduct 504 from 511 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 79 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 79 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2471.0
If we subtract 72 from 79, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2471.0
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2471.09
Subtracting 648 from 700 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2471.097
If we subtract 504 from 520, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2471.0972
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2471.09722
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2471.09722 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
